It Was Only Six Minutes?

Proof that I indeed do not like talking over a phone. Six minutes, what is six minutes? I started getting tense because I was talking to a friend of mine, I gave her what I wanted to be a quick call, I just wanted to tell her that I wouldn't be near my phone, but then she wanted to have a conversation and I was so not in the mood for a conversation.
After the call ended it felt as if it had gone on forever and I checked the minutes and it had only been six minutes, talking for six minutes can feel like forever? Well, I suppose when you are in a rush, it can. Have you ever had the feeling that something carried on longer than it actually did?

I don't like wasting precious time either. And could not really focus on a conversation that day. Texting would be my first choice, Dianne, then email or other social media. Going to say good night to you then off. It is after midnight here again.

Luckily t was 6 minutes but was the call expensive? I don't speak on the phone often, usually use whatsapp

I`m like that when talking with my friends too and the time just passed by so quick until we realized that we`ve been talking for 2hours already

@bluesa Only because you`re in a rush but maybe if you got lots of time to talk with your friend on the phone you might not notice the time

@m_audrey6788 That is true unless you are talking to someone you really don't want to spend a lot of time with.

I don’t mind talking for a long time if i’m in the mood and fully engaged. And yes, it does make the time go by much faster than you realize. But if I don’t want to talk on the phone, those minutes seem to drag on forever!
When I saw the title of your post, I thought it was about something else, and that you were going to complain that it was too quick! I’ll leave it to your imagination to figure out what i’m talking about.
Just so you know, I would spend at least 10 minutes enjoying the sweet taste of your fudge before moving on to other things!

Yes, in this case, time dragged, I was in a rush and just wanted to let her know I wouldn't be near my phone, and she wanted to talk and talk.
Lmao! Jeff! 
. Taking 6 minutes to make fudge is way too quick 
You better spend at least 10 minutes enjoying my fudge. It is excellent fudge! right back at ya

@moffittjc , it is wonderful that you put so much time and effort into enjoying it, desserts need to be savoured and appreciated!

@bluesa I never spend anything less than 30 minutes (and sometimes an hour or more) enjoying a woman's desserts!

I don't like talking on the phone that much either. I'm on the other end like ok wrap it up. I can text four hours but if you call me I literally have nothing to say.

@candycanedec, yes, it is enough to tense a person right up.

Yes, and the opposite also. Maybe, time is relative after all?

@bluesa I went to see the movie The English Patient and the movie theater was packed and I had to sit in the front by the wall. The bathrooms were in the back of the theater. That was the longest movie I ever went to see as I was too embarrassed to get up and block everybody's view as everybody was paying close attention. I was literally praying for the movie to end. It just would not end.

@1hopefulman I hate such moments. I once sat through a horrible movie because I didn't want to disturb those watching it. That hour and a half also felt never ending.

Six minutes is a long time. There are times I wish it was longer, and other times a lot shorter.
One thing for sure is that time is precious so don't waste it!

@Orson_Kart we all have the right to wish
Yes, I am as I sometimes say, trucking on. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Waiting... for me, waiting seems slow my life. Seems like every second is too long to wait until the person or thing has arrived.

@YrNemo You are so funny but right. It is like sitting in the doctors office and while I am waiting my hands get sweaty and my nerves are shot. While in with the doctor the time flies by. Why is it the things we want to last longer never do?

I'm sure I have, I rarely talk on the phone, everyone I know send messages and we get together to visit face to face. I really don't like the phone either, its invasive.

It does not matter to me how long I talk on the phone. I have talked to somebody on the phone for over an hour before.
